In the sixteenth of our series of ‘Creatives of the Week’ chosen from ARTS THREAD’s graduate portfolios, we take a look at the specialism of ceramics, jewellery and glass and highlight the work of Kirsty Fraser.

Kirsty Fraser studied Jewelery & Silversmithing at Edinburgh College of Art and we have chosen Kirsty for the way she has translated her photographs of industrial buildings into jewelery via the regimented and structural technique of laser cutting. Laser cut MDF is combined with acrylic and silver in the pieces displayed below.
